Sebastian, Regie: Claudio Martins, ist ein Kurzfilm nach dem preisgekrönten Buch, “Sie hat Augen wie der Himmel,” vom portugiesischen Autor Socorro Acioli. Es ist eine durchdachte Analyse der Art und Weise, wie Unterschiede zwischen Einzelpersonen und einer Gruppe sowohl für die als „andere“ betrachtete Person als auch für ihre Umgebung schädlich sein können.
Die Art und Weise, wie ihre Stadt Sebastiana für ihr Geschenk behandelt, even though she doesn’t try to attract attention, illustrates how much being different affects individuals from the collective. This difference makes people dislike her. They separate her from her friends because she’s seen as a threat. When Sebastiana gets mad because of all the harassment, she accidentally kills her friend with a thunderbolt. Trotz dieses, she is the cure to the damage she caused, and is able to save her friend with her tears.
This short film’s animation was well done, einnehmend, and entertaining to watch. The music, Soundeffekte, and the lack of a voice for the characters made it that much more effective in delivering the whole story.
Ich denke Sebastian has a good balance between a light hearted way of storytelling with its engaging and entertaining animations and its thoughtful and deep meaning below the surface.
Ich gebe diesen Film 5 von 5 Sterne.
